Burning Man 2013

Burning Man is a gathering of free spirits, artists, entrepreneurs — and anyone else who manages to get a ticket. Every August some 60,000 people gather in Nevada’s Black Rock desert to build a temporary city, where there are few rules and there is plenty of room for creativity, seen in people’s daily costumes as well as in art installations, often massive in size, that dot the desert basin during the week that leads up to the burning of a giant effigy in a ritual frenzy.

“Spark: A Burning Man Story,” a movie released in August 2013, documents last year’s festival. Watch its trailer, which captures the spirit of Burning Man, below the gallery of photos from this year’s event.
